Pre-3.0, TEditText could only be used with TDialogView, which was essentially
an objectized version of the toolbox Dialog Manager. So the short answer to
your question is "because that's how the dialog manager did it." As to why
the *dialog manager* used a floating TextEdit record, I suspect the 64k RAM
of the original Macintosh had everything to do with it.
